Becuse if the building burns down, or you have a fire and both units take water damage, or someone breaks in and steals them, etc, etc you will cry. It doesn't take a major catastrophic event to wipe out the computer equipment in a building or render the data unretrievable. There's a reason people invest in offsite backups. Personally I have two file servers at home (I work from home) on seperate UPS's. I also have the critical data on a remote server and I burn DVD's/CD's which I place in my safety deposit box. If my house burns down, or the server colo burns down I'm not utterly f**ked. Kurt Seifried, kurt@seifried.org A15B BEE5 B391 B9AD B0EF AEB0 AD63 0B4E AD56 E574 http://seifried.org/security/
